Modifying Knot Pages

Knot pages on The Knot Atlas can be modified in three ways:

• Beginner. Only the knot page being viewed is modified, and only in certain specific places.
• Intermediate. These are modifications that effect the way all knot pages (or sometimes just all knot pages of a given class) are displayed, but no new "per knot" data is introduced.
• Expert. Introduces new invariants, pictures or data on all knot pages.

Beginner Mode Editing: Using Existing Hooks

On every knot page there are a number of "named editing hooks"; links bearing names such as Edit 5_1 Further Notes and Views, which contain the explicit name of the knot being studied. Clicking on a named editing hook allows you to edit (wiki-style) the section that follows it on the knot page. Just for fun, put your name in the obvious place (down at the bottom) using Edit 5_1 Further Notes and Views and see how it affects the knot page 5_1.
